I wonder why the Rockets changed up the style during their losing streak and allowed Harden to dominate the ball and have Lin go back to standing in the corner, and then 2 games ago, Lin gets to play PG again....strange agenda if it's just to get Harden into the ASG...

They changed it up because McHale saw the tapes and the rest of the team saw the tapes of when they were winning. It was quite obvious that the reason they were winning was because Lin was playing PG and not SG. McHale was forced to go back and see what he did wrong because his ass was on the line if they would have lost another game or two.

McHale has to take Lin out again when he is hot in the 3rd quarter and he is putting back Harden and Tony Douglas. What the heck is that all about? I really don't get the rotation of Lin. The guy has earned his playing time. Let the kid play Lurch!

ok, yall already know this but Lin is such a huge impact on the Rockets even when he is not scoring. He does almost everything well. If people really pay attention to the way he plays, they would understand what he brings to the team. Well he doing well the team is doing well, he is the "motor" of the team.

All of the above.... That's the reason why I desperately want Lin traded to another team - and do before they get another superstar they're trying to get to use up their cap space. Basically, I want people to compare apple to apple; let them play with the current roster sans Lin, the way McHale had preferred. About 10 games after trading Lin, they can acquire another star (probably a PF).

Its regular ink.. it just appears black due their skin pigment. Might not be as aesthetic compared to other races, but tattoos obviously have a deeper meaning rather than a fashion statement (lil wayne)

JLin played a GREAT game tonight. It is clear that McHale is willing to let JlIn play point guard. It is also clear that lin is not really looking to score but to facilitate. He only took 5 shots tonight (well, actually 6) and made all 5 for his 12 pts. Can't get more efficient than that.

It's games like this that commentators have a hard time talking about relevant stuff and hoping the game only ends quicker. It's sad that Houston bench have extended the lead to 40 points. Millsap must be thinking to himself that if he was on the Rockets team he could be having some fun also.

Even though he was a good player who I enjoyed watching when he teamed up with Stockton, Malone, and Mark Eaton, Thurl Bailey gave Lin no credit for the defensive schooling that Lin administered tonight.

I can understand why Thurl Bailey wouldn't recognize nor acknowledge that Lin was the primary reason the Jazz were beat into the ground tonight. To be scored on is one thing, to be defensively shut down by one guy (let alone Jeremy Lin of all people) is something else.

Make no mistake - this historic Jazz Linbarrassment is directly due to Jeremy Lin singlehandedly destroying the Jazz offense.

It's okay to have fun. They don't ever get to rest and observe the game as a group, Parsons, Harden and Lin. McHale hardly ever put in the bench and this is the first time. Might as well let them be cheerleaders tonight. The Jazz got nobody to blame but themselves. If they would have played better than this wouldn't have happened.

"The team slid by the first two rounds before beating Kentucky 49-45 to capture the 1947 NIT championship title. Misaka played the whole game, holding Ralph Beard, the national player of the year, to just one point."

"He debuted as the first non-Caucasian player in professional basketball in 1947, the same year that Jackie Robinson broke the baseball color line. The first African American did not play in the NBA until three years later in 1950."

Next game will be an interesting test - at Denver. That loss, Lin's 4th quarter benching, awful, awful game, sparked the current turn-around. It should be a tough game, especially if McHale decides to bench Lin again for the entire fourth.
